Problem/activity:
You’re mixing ingredients for cookies. The recipe says to combine 6 tablespoons, or ¾ stick, of butter with 1 cup of sugar. You accidentally mix in a whole stick of butter (8 tablespoons) with the cup of sugar. How can you fix this?


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
B. Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.


Thought: This problem focuses on the ratio between two ingredients. Students do not have to analyze proportional relationships in-depth, which is reserved for a higher grade level, but rather use ratios to find missing values.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant mathematical concepts/skills it teaches.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this How Many Do You See is to allow students to use place value language to describe the value of the base-ten blocks they see. Students may provide answers that indicate the number of blocks they see, while others may indicate the value of the blocks.
If students do not bring it up, ask about the value of the blocks.
